    Soludo Presents 2025 Budget To House, Gains Of Previous Years

    Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo CFR, the Executive Governor of Anambra, on Tuesday, presented the draft copy of the state’s 2025 fiscal year budget estimate of ₦606.9 Billion to the State House of Assembly. The document titled Changing Gears 2.0 represents a 48.0% increase from the last year’s N410,132,225,272 budget size.

    In the financial document, recurrent expenditures (77% of the total budget) account for N139.5 billion while capital expenditures got N467.5 billion (23%). While the budget deficit, estimated at N148.3 billion, is to be funded through revenue growth or borrowing from financial institutions.

    The governor in his presentation clarified that in both 2023 and 2024, the state did not borrow to finance budget deficits and a pointer that it might not borrow to fund any deficit in the 2025 budget. He hinged the success “on transparency, accountability, and sustainability.”

    Soludo also pointed out that “relative to 2024, several key sectors are seeing significant increases: the administrative sector by 45.5%; the Economic sector by 40.1%; the Judiciary sector by 51.3%; the social sector by 82.7%; Education by 101.4%; Health by 57.1%; and Infrastructure investment by 38.9%. Also, the state is “building upon the iconic projects initiated in 2024 while introducing new ones. Infrastructure and economic transformation as well as human capital development remain the kernel of this administration, and, significantly, at least 70% of the budget is allocated to these sectors.”

    While giving a status report on the development of three new cities: Awka 2.0, Onitsha 2.0, and a new Industrial City, he revealed that the Anambra Mixed-Use Industrial City Master Plan and the railway master plan/feasibility study have been completed in which the state is partnering with Afreximbank and AFDB in the development of an Industrial City.

    The governor reiterated his commitment to enhance the Ease of Doing Business in Anambra “to ensure the State becomes the preferred destination for investors.”

    Other projects to be implemented in the 2025 budget include the building of the largest shopping mall in Africa and the development of leisure centres throughout the State, investments in mass transit systems and marine transport, including buses, jetties, and boats and rural electrification projects and water projects, human capital development, education, seedlings to farmers and youth skills acquisition programmes.  

  • Nana Addo Commissions $1.2 billion 590MW Power Plant

    Nana Addo Commissions $1.2 billion 590MW Power Plant

    Over the years, Ghana relies heavily on hydropower (from dams like Akosombo, Kpong, and Bui) and thermal power (from gas and oil). However, the country’s energy infrastructure is ageing, and there have been issues with maintaining and upgrading it.

    On Tuesday, the Ghanaian President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, commissioned the Ghana 590MW combined-cycle power plant project. The $1.2 billion Bridge Power plant is located in Tema, an important coastal city in Ghana in the Greater Accra Region and home to the largest seaport in the country and a hub for trade, commerce and industry.

    Expected to transform the country’s power sector, the groundbreaking project, financed through a partnership with Early Power Ltd, is a giant leap toward Ghana’s quest to secure a reliable energy supply to drive economic growth and national development.

    In a statement, Nana Addo noted that the project “represents a shift away from the energy crises of the past, particularly the difficult years of “dumsor” between 2012 and 2016, which disrupted lives and livelihoods.” Emphasising the timeliness of the project, he said: “Reliable electricity is the backbone of national development—it powers industries, illuminates classrooms, and supports hospitals.” Adding the project will boost the productivity of the manufacturing industries and improve healthcare services and learning conditions in schools.

    Ghana has faced significant challenges with its electricity supply over the years. Periods of intermittent power supply has marked the situation, commonly referred to as “dumsor”. This term, which means “on and off” in the local language, describes the frequent power outages and load-shedding that have affected the country. The electricity crisis costs the country an estimated average of $2.1 million in lost production daily, affecting businesses and industries that rely on a stable power supply.

  • South Africa’s Rand Hit A Three-Month Low On Tuesday Over Uncertainties

    South Africa’s Rand Hit A Three-Month Low On Tuesday Over Uncertainties

    Investors have piled into trades seen as benefiting from the incoming U.S. administration, with markets anticipating Trump’s policies could mean higher economic growth in the short term but also potentially inflationary pressures.

    South Africa’s rand hit a three-month low on Tuesday, hurt by a stronger dollar and weaker gold prices, as markets grappled with what another Donald Trump presidency will mean for U.S. policy and trade relations.

    At 1533 GMT, the rand traded at 18.1325 against the dollar, down more than 1% on its previous close, its weakest level since mid-August.

    The risk-sensitive rand has been highly volatile since Trump’s U.S. election win last week and is on course for its third day of heavy losses.

    Investors have piled into trades seen as benefiting from the incoming U.S. administration, with markets anticipating Trump’s policies could mean higher economic growth in the short term but also potentially inflationary pressures.

    Potential policy changes include tariffs and tax cuts.

    ETM Analytics said in a research note that the rand “remains on the defensive while investors try to understand what (Trump’s win) means for the dollar and for currencies quoted against it”.

    The rand reacted little to positive local job data on Tuesday showing the unemployment rate fell for the first time in a year in the third quarter.

    The unemployment rate fell to 32.1% from 33.5% in the second quarter (ZAUNR=ECI), opens new tab.

    Another local factor that had little impact was manufacturing output for September (ZAMAN=ECI), opens new tab, which fell 0.8% year-on-year.

    On the Johannesburg stock market, the Top-40 index (JTOPI), opens new tab closed 0.7% down.

    The benchmark 2030 government bond was little changed, the yield at 9.23%.

  • Bitcoin Jumps To Record As Trump’s Election Turbocharges Cryptocurrencies

    Bitcoin Jumps To Record As Trump’s Election Turbocharges Cryptocurrencies

    Bitcoin soared to a record high above $82,000 on Monday on expectations that cryptocurrencies will boom in a favourable regulatory environment following the election of Donald Trump as U.S. president and of pro-crypto candidates to Congress.

    The world’s biggest and best-known cryptocurrency , has now more than doubled from the year’s low of $38,505 and was last at $82,236, having earlier touched a record high of $82,527.

    Trump embraced digital assets during his campaign, promising to make the United States the “crypto capital of the planet” and to accumulate a national stockpile of bitcoin.

    “Bitcoin’s Trump-pump is alive and well… with Republicans on the cusp of taking the house to confirm a red wave in Congress, it seems the crypto crowd are betting on digital-currency deregulation,” said Matt Simpson, senior market analyst at City Index, referring to Republican control of both houses.

    While Simpson warned that Trump’s near-term priorities are likely to lie elsewhere, crypto investors see an end to stepped-up scrutiny under U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler whom Trump has said he will fire.

    The cryptocurrency industry spent more than $119 million backing pro-crypto congressional candidates, many of whom won their races.

    In Ohio, one of the crypto industry’s biggest foes in Congress – Senate Banking Committee Chair Sherrod Brown – was ousted, while pro-crypto candidates from both the Democratic and Republican parties won in Michigan, West Virginia, Indiana, Alabama and North Carolina.

  • Support Supply Chain Financing: Okonjo Iweala And Others Tell Financial Institutions

    Support Supply Chain Financing: Okonjo Iweala And Others Tell Financial Institutions

    The Director-General of the World Trade Organisation, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and other heads of multilateral development banks (MDBs) have called on financial institutions to support Supply Chain Finance (SCF) to empower small businesses and boost trade. This involves the unlocking of working capital and easing the financial burden on suppliers in global value chains as well as ‘discounting of suppliers’ invoices by a bank or financier, allowing businesses to borrow against the value of their outstanding invoices’.

    Heads of the MDBs made the call during the World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund annual meetings in Washington D.C. on 25 October, an event co-hosted by the IFC Managing Director Makhtar Diop.

    WTO’s Director-General, Dr Okonjo-Iweala, emphasised that multilateral development banks have increased trade and supply finance support from US$30 billion annually before the COVID-19 pandemic to nearly US$50 billion in 2023, helping ensure the supply of essential food, medicine and other critical imports. She also pointed out that global supply chain finance, one of the fastest-growing segments of trade finance, is now valued at around US$2.3 trillion.

    She also noted that small businesses in developing countries have yet to fully benefit from trade expansions because of challenges such as weak legal frameworks, inadequate technological infrastructure, and high business costs.

    Okonjo also noted the need for the multilateral development banks to coordinate activities, focusing on increasing financial support through their existing supply chain finance programmes and taking concrete measures to support the legal, policy and operational framework needed for market development. Besides collaborating with financial institutions to increase the diversity of financing products available to small businesses, which she said will unlock trade volumes, and make it more inclusive and competitive, with the multiplier effect of higher development and poverty reduction outcomes in countries around the world.

    Speaking in the same vein, the IFC Managing Director Makhtar Diop highlighted that the “supply chain finance is crucial for empowering emerging market firms, especially SMEs, to engage effectively in both local and global value chains. By providing access to vital financial resources, it enables these businesses to thrive, fostering growth, and generating quality job opportunities,” he said.

    Others who shared their efforts in the expansion of supply chain finance are the senior officials from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Islamic Development Bank (ISDB), and IDB Invest (the private sector arm of the Inter-American Development Bank).

    In a joint statement issued at the end of the meeting, the MDBs pledged to strengthen cooperation and leverage their resources to support SMEs in supply chain, technology infrastructure, analytics, training, and financing.

    The statement reads in part: “Supply Chain Finance (SCF) is essential for enabling emerging markets firms, particularly Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), to participate in both global and local markets. Greater participation of SME firms in global value chains will increase trade and development opportunities, integrate value chains, and incentivise better environmental and social (E&S) performance.

    However, according to the recent studies conducted by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the World Trade Organization (WTO), local availability of SCF, especially in low-income and fragile countries, is scarcer than traditional trade finance due to weaker financial and legal infrastructures, leading to missed economic opportunities.

    Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) need to collaborate to further increase financial support, improve regulatory frameworks, promote marketplaces, drive E&S agenda, build market capacity, and increase product availability in supply chain finance markets.

    We, the World Trade Organization (WTO), International Finance Corporation (IFC, World Bank Group), African Export-Import Bank (AFREXIMBANK), Asian Development Bank (ADB), European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), IDB Invest (IDBI), and International Islamic Trade Finance Corporation (ITFC, Islamic Development Bank Group), will coordinate through the already established Supply Chain Finance Task Force under WTO’s Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) Working Group to i) increase financial support through their existing SCF programs; ii) strengthen the legal infrastructure; iii) promote common sector-level operating marketplaces; iv) build market awareness and stakeholder capacity; and v) work with financial institutions and fintechs to increase product diversity and availability.

    A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine.

I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now.
